Traditional dances by Detroit’s own Ballet Folklorico

The Mexican Folklorico dance style of Veracruz is known for its technically challenging, fast paced dance steps. Lance Rodriguez and the “Ballet Folklorico De Detroit” students have spent over five years engaged in rigorous training and practice to bring to life these traditional dances for Detroit audiences.
